Now that all "blkcipher" templates have been converted to "skcipher",
crypto_alloc_instance() is no longer used.  And it's not useful any
longer as it creates an old-style weakly typed instance rather than a
new-style strongly typed instance.  So remove it, and now that the name
is freed up rename crypto_alloc_instance2() to crypto_alloc_instance().

Templates that use an shash spawn can use crypto_shash_alg_has_setkey()
to determine whether the underlying algorithm requires a key or not.
But there was no corresponding function for ahash spawns.  Add it.

Note that the new function actually has to support both shash and ahash
algorithms, since the ahash API can be used with either.

<title>crypto: hmac - require that the underlying hash algorithm is unkeyed</title>

<id>af3ff8045bbf3e32f1a448542e73abb4c8ceb6f1</id>
<content type='text'>
Because the HMAC template didn't check that its underlying hash
algorithm is unkeyed, trying to use "hmac(hmac(sha3-512-generic))"
through AF_ALG or through KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE resulted in the inner HMAC
being used without having been keyed, resulting in sha3_update() being
called without sha3_init(), causing a stack buffer overflow.

This is a very old bug, but it seems to have only started causing real
problems when SHA-3 support was added (requires CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3)
because the innermost hash's state is -&gt;import()ed from a zeroed buffer,
and it just so happens that other hash algorithms are fine with that,
but SHA-3 is not.  However, there could be arch or hardware-dependent
hash algorithms also affected; I couldn't test everything.

Fix the bug by introducing a function crypto_shash_alg_has_setkey()
which tests whether a shash algorithm is keyed.  Then update the HMAC
template to require that its underlying hash algorithm is unkeyed.

Here is a reproducer:

    #include &lt;linux/if_alg.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/socket.h&gt;

    int main()
    {
        int algfd;
        struct sockaddr_alg addr = {
            .salg_type = "hash",
            .salg_name = "hmac(hmac(sha3-512-generic))",
        };
        char key[4096] = { 0 };

        algfd = socket(AF_ALG, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
        bind(algfd, (const struct sockaddr *)&amp;addr, sizeof(addr));
        setsockopt(algfd, SOL_ALG, ALG_SET_KEY, key, sizeof(key));
    }

<title>crypto: ahash - Fix EINPROGRESS notification callback</title>

<id>ef0579b64e93188710d48667cb5e014926af9f1b</id>
<content type='text'>
The ahash API modifies the request's callback function in order
to clean up after itself in some corner cases (unaligned final
and missing finup).

When the request is complete ahash will restore the original
callback and everything is fine.  However, when the request gets
an EBUSY on a full queue, an EINPROGRESS callback is made while
the request is still ongoing.

In this case the ahash API will incorrectly call its own callback.

This patch fixes the problem by creating a temporary request
object on the stack which is used to relay EINPROGRESS back to
the original completion function.

This patch also adds code to preserve the original flags value.

Herbert wants the sha1-mb algorithm to have an async implementation:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/5/286.
Currently, sha1-mb uses an async interface for the outer algorithm
and a sync interface for the inner algorithm. This patch introduces
a async interface for even the inner algorithm.

Herbert wants the sha1-mb algorithm to have an async implementation:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/5/286.
Currently, sha1-mb uses an async interface for the outer algorithm
and a sync interface for the inner algorithm. This patch introduces
a async interface for even the inner algorithm.

This patch removes all traces of the crypto_hash interface, now
that everyone has switched over to shash or ahash.

This patch introduces the multi-buffer crypto daemon which is responsible
for submitting crypto jobs in a work queue to the responsible multi-buffer
crypto algorithm.  The idea of the multi-buffer algorihtm is to put
data streams from multiple jobs in a wide (AVX2) register and then
take advantage of SIMD instructions to do crypto computation on several
buffers simultaneously.

The multi-buffer crypto daemon is also responsbile for flushing the
remaining buffers to complete the computation if no new buffers arrive
for a while.
